2. Material Design

Material Design is the new design language for Google's Android and Chrome Os. VP of Design Matias Duarte explained that the designers drew inspiration from "paper and ink" for Material Design. Images and typography appear more as if they existed in real life with shadows and depth. There are bolder colors and rounder edges. The screen will react to the user's touch with a gentle rippling and icons and windows will appear to have surfaces and edges (seems like Google was on the same page as the Amazon Fire when it comes to 3-D interfacing). Material will also eventually come to Google's apps.
